Carrot-Ginger Soup

By Nolan Marciniec

Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2-inch piece of fresh ginger (or more to taste), peeled and grated
  • 2 quarts vegetable (or chicken) stock
  • 1 (or more to taste) orange, peeled and seeded
  • sea salt
  • freshly grated black pepper
  • chopped fresh chives or cilantro
  • plain Greek yogurt (optional)

In a large soup pot over medium high heat, sauté carrots, onion, and ginger until the onion is softened.

Add broth and simmer until the carrots are cooked through.

Add oranges. Or perhaps a cup or so or orange juice?

When the soup has cooled, puree in a blender or use an immersion blender.

Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Serve with an optional dollop of Greek yogurt. Top with chopped chives or cilantro.
